Labadieville, LA
Labadieville, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Labadieville at the 7th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,075 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Labadieville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Labadieville's building exposure, zone by zone
48.1% of Labadieville's 1,075 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Labadieville compares
There's little gap between Labadieville's 7th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Louisiana, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Labadieville ranks 29,246 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,432 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 479 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Labadieville's low rating (7th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Labadieville
Labadieville's 48.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
